Just a reminder to all Hello Dollies' members - past and present. The usual monthly meeting is on tomorrow - with the usual show and tell and doll related discussion. However, this will be the last meeting with Fay, after 20 years of commitment, encouragement and inspiration. Please come along to Dollies to say goodbye and thank you to Fay.

Gumnut Dollies Newcastle

Gumnut Dollies Newcastle is a group of doll makersin Newcastle NSW. On 11 July 2015, Hello Dollies and Gumnutters ( two like minded doll makers' groups) joined creative forces.

Hello Dollies was a 24 year old cloth doll club established, developed and nurtured by Gloria Mc Kinnon of Anne's Glory Box. Gumnutters was a group of like minded doll makers which grew from Hello Dollies connections.

We learn and share doll making techniques and ideas, and create cloth dolls, art dolls, mixed media dolls and soft sculptures... and lots more! Gumnut Dollies Newcastle meets in Newcastle on the second Saturday of the month and is always ready to welcome visitors and new members.
